Atomic, Molecular & Chemical Physics
Overview
Research in the area of Atomic, Molecular, and Chemical physics is being pursued by two independent investigators. Prof. Gibson is involved with the theoretical study of electron and positron collisions with atoms and molecules as well as with the development and application of scalable concurrent techniques for computation and Monte Carlo simulation. The department's acquistion of a new 16-node Beowulf cluster helps support Dr. Gibson's work. Prof. Glab's research focuses on the spectroscopy, intramolecular dynamics, and collision properties of highly excited states of small molecules. His laboratory utilizes pulsed, tunable laser excitation of molecular states in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, multiphoton excitation, and ion and photoelectron spectroscopy.
